What people prefer counts as a "tell," as they say in poker. I can find all sorts of low-quality members any of you prefer to this troll. And then the question becomes, "why do you prefer this low-quality member to that low-quality member." It's a simple tell.
I rarely participate on anti-poche threads that I see from time to time. The reason I don't is because there are other members who I find even more insidious than poche and who people have no problem with. So if people have no problem with those members then I won't participate when they want to ban someone less insidious. And also because Matthew doesn't like it, for good reasons, when people pressure him to bring out the banhammer.
Some of you men get very uncomfortable when this guy makes jokes about your masculinity. You should just ignore it or laugh it off, unless you have something to worry about, of course.
And the down-thumbing thing isn't something to worry about. High reputation isn't a guarantee of credibility.
